We stayed on the forth floor and its wasn’t to bad. There was no microwave and we waited 3 days to get a phone cord for the phone in the room. Friends of ours stayed on the third floor and it smelled so bad. Staff were friendly! Won’t stay there again.

Had to listen to kids and adults running and shouting. Went to the front desk after calling several times and no answer. I should be able to sleep and get my 8 years old to sleep and then being woken all night long. For 226 dollars a night I've have better stays at 60$ motels

We really enjoyed the in-house restaurant, and the kids-eat-free deal was a great bonus. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The only downside was that the pool slide was only open for part of one day and not available at all on the second day.

We’re in the lower level (1) and it was beat down. Very dirty feeling. Put us with all hockey teams but didn’t address the children running around screaming after I ask for them to address it. Just looked shocked someone would ask that. It was well after 10pm and doesn’t seem normal for children to be yelling and banging through the halls. Just cause I had a child with me doesn’t me I want to be by the hockey teams. Hotel is in rough shape. Needs a renovation on some floors. Main lobby is clean. Nice pool. And my daughter loved the slide.
